Husband got GLUTENED!! He told our server he had a gluten allergy the server assured him they make proper precautions. Husband ordered the salmon that came with farro risotto. My husband asked the server if it was GF, the server asked the chef and came back saying yes it was. After doing some research my husband saw that farro can be made GF and the chef said it was so that’s why he ended up ordering it. My husband is now extremely GLUTENED!!

Celiac

Review


Ate here a week ago with some friends. They really enjoyed their meals also.

TOO MANY CHOICES!!! I was overwhelmed at the sheer size of their menu and the gluten free options the server told me about sort of blew my mind.

I had a great salad and then the tuna, which was delightful.

This place is LOUD but fun! I saw our server go into the kitchen (you can see into the kitchen through a glass wall) and tell them it was celiac so that was nice. He said he would, and he did!

Symptomatic Celiac

The staff was very knowledgeable about celiac disease. They checked with the chef and made sure my steak was not cooked on the same surface as gluten. My salad was made without croutons as well. They serve people with celiac often and are very accommodating and had no problem answering my many many questions. The food was absolutely delicious. I would highly recommend it.

Wait staff was knowledgeable about Celiac. I had the Wild Ecuadorian Swordfish which was delicious. Had lemon caper sauce and grilled zucchini. I’ve eaten a similar dish at WaterGrill in downtown LA on Grand Ave as well. Both places took care of me and most importantly, I did not get sick afterwards. Waitress told me them dealing with Celiac is pretty common and told me not to worry.
